How has the supposedly liberalizing project of police reform in Turkey become central to the increasingly authoritarian regime of Erdogan's AKP Party? Engaging political theory and a gender studies perspective, this book traces the implementation of security sector reform in Turkey, showing how various agents, including Islamist policy-makers, Turkish police and the women's movement in Turkey have contributed to and resisted growing police powers. A critical study which also employs case studies, this is a timely intervention on the ‘authoritarian turn’ in Turkey and contributes to a growing number of studies of neoliberalism and security in the context of liberal internationalism.Produced in association with the British Institute at Ankara

This book provides a critical but constructive engagement with feminist theory, coupled with a powerful critique of the mainstream/liberal approaches to the state-society relations. Thereby, it could be considered as an important contribution to the development of a “materialist-cum-feminist theory of state” by adopting a relational perspective to enhance our understanding of “the limits and promises of the feminist interventions in and against the state” in general, and with a detailed critical analysis of “the capitalist-patriarchal gender selectivities of the state” in Turkey in particular.
